Emerging from the ash-stained heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, THE JUDAS KISS is a gothic-infused rock band that marries brooding intensity with anthemic grit. Their music is carved from the city’s old stone and rusted iron—melancholy, powerful, and laced with both romantic decay and working-class defiance.
They blend the icy drama of gothic rock with the driving muscle of modern alt-rock, creating soundscapes that shimmer like rain on cobblestone and ache with lyrical depth. Towering guitars drip with chorus and delay, basslines stalk like shadows beneath streetlights, and drums march with cathedral solemnity.
Their lyrics explore themes of betrayal, horror, hauntings love, resurrection and sin, —always with a heart that bleeds black velvet. There’s a spirituality in their darkness, a yearning for absolution even as the songs dive into the depths.
